Abstract

At the time of USSR collapse in 1991, all of the member countries of the
Soviet  Union,  including  Ukraine,  had  severe  difficulties  in  implementing
reforms and innovations. This  paper  aimed  to  clarify  the  process  of  Agricultural  land  reform
implementation  by  classifying  the  evolution  of  land  tenure  changes,  and
discussing the peculiar features of such changes on the farm level.
Extensive  review  of  Laws,  Decrees,  Land  Codes,  and  past  studies  on
land reform in Ukraine were conducted. Data based on questionnaire survey of
50 private farmers of Zhytomyr oblast  in  2010  is presented as well, with the
aim to study peculiar features of land tenure changes during the reform that
are not apparent by examining only policies and legislation.
